Deadline:
August 27, 2010

Animate Projects is looking to commission three experimental works that explore the theme of the rough machine for its online magazine, APEngine.org and for iTunes.

In the spirit of APEngine, we’re looking for crafty provocations - antidotes to digital perfection.

We invite ideas from UK-based artists, animators and filmmakers who can craft an inventive, arresting and engagingly provocative work. We’re not looking for narrative, live action films and students aren’t eligible.

Each commission is 1,000, to include artist’s fee, all production costs and expenses.

To apply: simply email a proposal, no more than 200 words, noting the tools & processes that you would use, for a film that is around 1-3 minutes long, to machines@animateprojects.org. Please also include your contact details and 3 or 4 web links to examples of your moving image work.

The deadline for proposals is 27 August, 5pm. The finished films must be delivered as an uncompressed QuickTime file by 20 October 2010. The films will premiere on APEngine.org and iTunes from November 2010.

Brooklyn, NY seeks curatorial proposals
Posted by: Scott Kiernan

Deadline:
July 14, 2010

LOUIS V. E.S.P. a new not-for-profit gallery/project space in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY seeks curatorial proposals for shows to take place in fall/winter of 2010. Please visit www.louisvesp.com for a history of shows and to get a sense of the space. Shows typically run for a duration of one to two weeks, though we are open to one-night shows and screenings as well and can be flexible for the right project. Also note that we are currently giving preference to group exhibitions or unclassifiable projects. Solo shows are not completely out of the question, but they should revolve a specific, unique project and not around an artist's body of work as a whole.

Front gallery is approximately 450 ft. and entire space is approx. 1400 sq. ft with 18 ft. high ceilings. We have one video projector, one flatscreen and many monitors/DVD players on hand.

Proposals should be as complete as possible with theme, artists involved and work samples. There are no limit on themes but know that we pay specific attention to proposals with a strong conceptual basis which strive to push the boundaries of what is commonly expected when one thinks of an "art exhibition". Again, a visit to the website will likely answer most questions. Floor plan available upon request.

Please send all materials to info@louisvesp.com

We always welcome proposals, but the deadline for second half of 2010 shows is July 14, 2010.
